Students: We are receiving many calls from neighbors about all the student cars stashed in the neighborhoods surrounding the school. You must park ONLY where your permit allows or your car will be ticketed, and the neighborhoods are off-limits.
If you have yet to register, please do so immediately on MyGFU and park in your designated areas. Even if you have been already been charged for a parking permit as a commuter or grad student, you still need to register your vehicle on MyGFU and place your permit on the rear window of your vehicle.
If you do not know where your permit allows you to park, then come immediately to the Campus Public Safety office or refer to the parking brochure that came with your permit to avoid a parking ticket.
The parking brochure is also online if you are still waiting for your permit to arrive. We know you have better things to do with your money than pay parking tickets, so please pay attention to these details!

As a reminder of the university’s recent change in recycling policy, here is an overview …
The national recycle market has drastically changed. There now is no market for some common recyclables, leaving recyclers scrambling to find locations to send materials. This is not simply a George Fox issue, but a global market issue. Skyrocketing prices and lack of a domestic market for some materials prompted the university to change how we recycle.
As a result, these are the changes made to the recycling program:
Any questions can be directed to Trevor Woods, waste stream manager, at twoods@georgefox.edu.
